The Sandia Sniper 80-2100 12-gallon carpet extractor is a commercial-grade box extractor built for facility teams that need to deep-clean carpet across offices, schools, hotels, retail spaces, and healthcare environments. With a 100 PSI demand pump and dual 2-stage vacuum motors producing up to 205 inches of water lift, the Sniper drives detergent solution deep into carpet pile and pulls the dirty solution back out fast enough to leave carpet ready for traffic the same day.
Built for
- In-house facility cleaning crews at offices, schools, banks, and corporate campuses that maintain carpet on a recurring schedule
- Hotels and hospitality properties where guest-room and corridor carpet needs to come back online quickly between rentals
- Janitorial contractors serving multi-tenant buildings, retail chains, and healthcare facilities
- Carpet cleaning startups looking for a workhorse first machine that scales from small offices to large open carpet plans
- Restoration crews handling routine extraction work between specialty jobs
Why the 80-2100 holds up under daily commercial use
The body is roto-molded polyethylene rather than blow-molded plastic, so it shrugs off the dents, chips, and cracks that show up after a few months of being loaded into vans and bumped through doorways. The 10-inch non-skid, non-marking rear wheels make stair work realistic, and the waist-high recessed control panel keeps the operator upright during long sessions. Cooling fans pull outside air across the vacuum motors so they stay running cool through full back-to-back jobs. The Sniper carries the Carpet and Rug Institute Seal of Approval for cleaning effectiveness and is made in the United States.
2-stage vs 3-stage vacuum motors - which one fits your work
Two-stage vacuum motors run on a single 25-foot cord and one standard 115V outlet, which is why the 80-2100 is the right pick for most commercial and light-restoration use. Three-stage motors pull more water lift but require two separate power cords plugged into separate circuits to avoid tripping breakers. If your jobs are typical office, retail, hotel, or school carpet, the dual 2-stage configuration on the 80-2100 keeps your setup time short and your power requirements simple while still extracting at a level that competes with three-stage machines on most soil loads.

Frequently asked questions
Does the 80-2100 include hoses and a wand?
The base 80-2100 ships with the machine, the 25-foot 12/3 power cord, and the manual. Vacuum hose, solution hose, and cleaning wand are sold separately so you can match the wand width and hose length to your typical job. Many operators pair the Sniper with a 12-inch wand and 25-foot hose set for general carpet work.
What is the difference between the 80-2100 and the 80-2100-H?
The 80-2100-H adds a 2000-watt in-line heater that raises solution temperature up to roughly 200 degrees Fahrenheit at the wand. Heat helps emulsify oily and grease-based soils common in restaurants, gyms, and high-traffic entryways. The non-heated 80-2100 is the right choice when you mostly clean office carpet, hotel rooms, and general commercial spaces where built-in heat is not required.
Can the 80-2100 run on a regular wall outlet?
Yes. The 80-2100 is a single-cord machine that plugs into a standard 115V, 15-amp outlet via a NEMA 5-15P plug. That makes it easier to deploy in older buildings with limited dedicated circuits. If you upgrade to a 3-stage Sniper later you will need two separate circuits because those models use two power cords.
How long does it take to fill and dump the tanks?
The 12-gallon solution tank is positioned for fast filling from a sink or bucket, and the recovery tank uses a quick-dump design so you can empty it without lifting the whole machine. Most operators report that tank turnover is faster than competing machines in the same gallon class because the recovery tank dumps cleanly without splash-back.
Is this machine appropriate for small home use?
The 80-2100 is built for commercial frequency. It is overpowered for occasional residential use. Carpet cleaning startups and contractors who occasionally clean residential carpets do well with this model because it handles both, but a homeowner cleaning a single house a few times a year would be better served by a smaller spot or canister extractor.
